A Biblical Math Formula
Posted on January 18
A Biblical Math Formula I heard some students and teachers discussing old math and new math. I couldn’t follow the discussion because I’m not good at math. I relate to Derric Johnson who said, “There are three kinds of people in the world—those who are good at math and those who are not.” I propose a Biblical math formula that’s both old and new and all of us can understand. Memorize this formula: “Knowing what... more »

An Exam Room—Intimidating or Inspiring?
Posted on August 17
An Exam Room—Intimidating or Inspiring? It’s interesting to me to see different items that appear in a medical doctor’s exam rooms. I recently went with my wife, Lynn, to Dr. Pat Ryan, a neurosurgeon, because she was having difficulties with her back. I had been to Dr. Ryan about four years ago, and he was very helpful to me in determining a course of action. Lynn had gone to him before with difficulties with her... more »

Falling Apart or Falling into Place?
Posted on May 20
FALLING APART OR FALLING INTO PLACE? For the past 6 weeks, I have been filming a brief “Good News” segment on social media every morning at 10 o’clock. I stand in front of bookshelves in my office where I have some pictures. Since many asked me about the people in the pictures, I decided to take a different picture each day and talk about the person in the picture and what good news they might share. I... more »

The New Normal
Posted on May 6
THE NEW NORMAL As most states are relaxing restrictions on businesses and confinement, people are talking about returning to normal. Normal will not be normal as we’ve known it! There will be a New Normal! Read Deuteronomy 28. Moses is leading the people into the Promised Land. If they obey God, it will be a New Normal. He describes where they’ve been, and where they’re going. They have a choice to make – obey God and the New Normal, or... more »

How Successful Are You?
Posted on January 29
HOW SUCCESSFUL ARE YOU? Everybody wants to be successful, but sometimes success can be the worst thing that happens to a person. People can deal with adversity much easier than they can with success. Abraham Lincoln said, “Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man’s character, give him power.” I remember hearing my Dad say, “It’s difficult to hold a full cup steady, especially if that cup was filled rapidly.” We’re living... more »

What Do You Ask God For?
Posted on January 15
WHAT DO YOU ASK GOD FOR? What if God stopped you right now and said that He would give you anything that you asked for? Anything! What would you ask for? This happened to Solomon. II Chronicles 1 records how David passed the mantle of leadership to his son, Solomon. People came to Jerusalem to celebrate the new king. (v.1-6) That night, God appeared to Solomon and said, “Ask me for anything and I will give... more »

Promised Land in 2020
Posted on December 31
PROMISED LAND IN 2020 The people of Israel had become slaves to the Egyptians. God raised up a leader – Moses – to free them and lead them to the promised land. Moses was probably a Methodist because he made many excuses as to why he could not do what God wanted him to do! As you live in the New Year, don’t make excuses for what you can’t do. Trust God that He knows what He’s doing... more »

The Refining Fire Redefines the Future
Posted on December 4
God still “sits as a refiner and purifier of silver.” The process of refining and purifying is still the same. Silver reflecting the image of the Refiner is still the result!
